I just made an out feed table for my saw. The write up is here:

Thanks.
The original plan I had was to make the vise extension "sort of" close, but when I was figuring where to make the cut, it dawned on me just to mount it long and cut it in place. I was worried that being right against the blade may interfere with shavings removal, but so far that has not been a problem.

I made my backstop on the outfeed side by making it over long and trimming it with the blade as the last step too.
I've found it a problem only?when cutting very small length like 1/16" or less, when the offcut can jam between the stop and the blade, but the saw is stopping then anyway and its just a matter of pushing the blade toward the fixed jaw and lifting the sawframe to free it.
The benefits of having the backstop far outweigh this minor problem.
Nice work on the outfeed table - jv?

Thanks!

Really nice. I've been wanting to do this to my saw for a while now. Thanks for the photos. I have an idea how I can do it.?

Thanks!
I think providing someone else some inspiration is a key function of groups like this - both in terms of "I never thought of it that way" and " you way over engineered that; here is an easier way."

I have a folder of photos for inspiration, and often the idea I want to explore has nothing to do with why the photos were posted. The original was posted to show a part being made, but I was struck by the attachment on the mill, an attachment that isn't even being used to make the part.

Good luck out your project!
